Description

Beautifully hand forged in Japan. The design of this type of knife comes from Europe. This knife has a double ground blade, so it is good for cutting food vertically. Besides meats it is also good for cutting vegetables, small fishes and hams. The hammertone finish allows for less friction as the blade slices through the food.

The mallet mesh has been applied on a beautiful patterned 16 layer Damascus steel of the knife body and cutting edge of the knife. It has been finished with Japanese forging. And the blade of knife has been forged with Japanese best non-rust steel, V-10 Gold which is used for the main steel of the knife to enhance the durability. The waterproof mahogany laminated plywood has been used for the handle.

  • The most versatile and one of the most popular knives that a cook can have today is a Japanese all-purpose chefs knife known as a Santoku knife. Santoku is Japanese for three virtues referring to the shape of the blade which comprises aspects of the traditional vegetable knife , Usuba, and Gyuto in one knife making it a favorite among chefs and cooks everywhere.
  • Made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a premium Western Style Handle that extends to the full tang of the knife and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.
  • Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools such as a high quality chef's knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
  • Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

    GENERAL KNIFE CARE TIPS:

    Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:

    • Use a wooden or plastic cutting.
    • After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
    • Use a magnetic rack, knife block or protective knife guard.
    • A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
    • Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.
    • Do not leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
    • Do not wash the knife in the dishwasher.
    • Do not use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
    • Do not scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
    • A knife is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc. Kitchen knives are meant for preparing food.
